The spoiled princess Jinghui, who has been pampered by the emperor since childhood, finds herself forced into a marriage with the notorious general Lu Songyuan after the emperor falls ill. Known fo...
Chapter 34 Tie me up. Push me away, or kiss me.
Ah Yu entered in response to the call, and upon seeing something, the rope she was holding fell to the ground with a thud. She then knelt down at the entrance of the bedroom with a thud.
Jing Hui looked at her suspiciously and urged, "What are you doing? Give it to me quickly—um!"
Before she could finish speaking, someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her into their arms.
Jing Hui looked up and saw that Lu Songyuan had woken up at some point. He was squinting, his eyes filled with what seemed like a raging storm, looking down at her.
Jing Hui was startled, her red lips parted slightly, "How did you wake up..."
Lu Songyuan's face was gloomy. He raised his chin at A Yu and said, "Let her out."
Jing Hui said, "Ayu will serve us while we rest."
Lu Songyuan said coldly, "I'll serve you. Let her out."
Jing Hui felt a sharp pain under her buttocks from the red pendant and was anxious to use it to save Jing Ning.
The pressure on her wrist increased, and she replied, "Okay, okay."
Then he turned to his head and ordered, "Ayu, you can go out now."
Ah Yu cautiously looked up at the two people in the wheelchair, their clothes tangled together.
Noticing Ayu's gaze, Lu Songyuan's expression grew even more displeased. He freed his hand and forcefully wrapped it around Jing Hui's waist, coldly looking at Ayu and ordering, "Get out and lock the door."
Ah Yu immediately lowered her head.
Jing Hui twisted his waist, patted Lu Songyuan's shoulder, and said, "Are you going to kill someone and bury the body?"
Lu Songyuan pinched Jing Hui's chin, "Don't talk nonsense."
Jing Hui ignored him, slapped Lu Songyuan's hand away, and turned to wink at A Yu.
Ah Yu understood, placed the rope under the flowerpot stand by the door, and slowly retreated.
"This servant takes her leave."
The door closed, and Jing Hui heard the sound of the lock clicking shut.
"..."
It's actually locked!
Fortunately, the rope was left behind.
Jing Hui was just figuring out how to get the rope to tie Lu Songyuan to the wheelchair when someone grabbed the back of her neck and forcibly pulled her back to the present.
"Let me go!"
Jing Hui nudged Lu Songyuan in dissatisfaction.
Lu Songyuan neither let go nor spoke, only staring at her.
The room quieted down, and Jing Hui felt Lu Songyuan's tense body gradually relax beneath her. His eyes blinked repeatedly, and his gaze became increasingly unfocused. The lamplight shone in his eyes, and Jing Hui saw himself reflected in them.
Our noses bumped; we hadn't realized we were so close.
With each breath, the aroma of wine, along with the faint medicinal scent emanating from Lu Songyuan, wafted into Jing Hui's nostrils, making Jing Hui seem somewhat intoxicated.
She blinked, her gaze sweeping over Lu Songyuan's trembling eyelashes and high, straight nose, finally settling on his glistening red lips.
“Ah Zhu”.
Lu Songyuan let out a muffled groan. He stared at Jing Hui, stuck out his tongue, and licked his lips.
Jing Hui's eyes widened immediately, and he sat up straight.
No matter how far away she sat, she was always on Lu Songyuan's lap.
Jing Hui struggled for a moment, then heard Lu Songyuan call her name again, "Azhu".
"What are you doing?"
His gaze was too intense, and Jing Hui didn't want to meet his eyes. She glanced away for only a moment before she felt the hand on the back of her neck suddenly tighten, pressing her closer until it stopped between her lips, about a fist's distance away.
Lu Songyuan raised his chin, bringing his lips closer together, their tips almost touching.
He looked into Jing Hui's eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Push me away, or kiss me."
Jing Hui's gaze was completely occupied by the person in front of him.
She had to admit that Lu Songyuan was very handsome, and the wildness he always carried added to his appearance. The combination of jade and dust made him look dangerous yet charming.
Jing Hui would never put herself in danger. After thinking about it, she decided it would be easier to just knock Lu Songyuan unconscious.
Jing turned her head and leaned back, wanting to get further away from Lu Songyuan. The hand on Lu Songyuan's shoulder tightened quietly.
But it can't move.
The hand on the back of Jing Hui's neck felt like it was made of black iron, gripping him so tightly that he couldn't move.
He can't even back down, so what's the point of asking any more questions!
"I'll bite you to death."
Jing Hui angrily strode forward, bumping into Lu Songyuan's lips. She opened her mouth, biting his lip hard between her teeth.
Lu Songyuan laughed heavily, and opened his mouth, allowing Jing Hui to vent her anger on him.
While kissing Jing Hui, Lu Songyuan turned on the mechanism of the wheelchair and rolled towards the bed.
In his confusion, Jing Hui felt a sudden dizziness and lay down on the bed.
She didn't even see how Lu Songyuan got into bed before he covered her, and after a few breaths, his lips were sealed with hers again.
After an unknown amount of time, the world spun around them again, and their positions changed. Jing Hui's legs were pulled apart by Lu Songyuan, and her waist was lifted so that she straddled him.
Jing Hui exclaimed in surprise: "Lu Songyuan!"
"Um."
Lu Songyuan was breathing heavily. After helping Jing Hui sit up with one hand, he pulled her down with the other.
Jing Hui struggled to move, but suddenly felt her buttocks being pushed, causing her to unconsciously lie down.
His hands were on her upper body, and it seemed as if Lu Songyuan's leg had pushed her just now.
Jing Hui turned around abruptly and saw Lu Songyuan's legs resting peacefully on the bed, as if it had been her imagination.
Jing Hui breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could turn around, her neck was grabbed and held in someone's mouth.
"Hmm."
The neck is a sensitive spot for Jinghui, and it is the most dangerous place to touch.
Being bitten like this, Jing Hui's body instantly went limp.
She reached out and pressed down on Lu Songyuan's neck, her nails slicing across his collarbone. "No!"
"Um."
Lu Songyuan sucked harder, and Jing Hui's waist sash was gently tugged, causing it to come undone and revealing her snow-white undergarment.
His hand slipped inside, covering Jing Hui's undergarment at the waist, and then slowly moved upwards.
Just as his thumb was about to touch her softness, Jing Hui's voice, choked with sobs, came through the air, "Lu Songyuan, I don't want this, please don't do this—"
Upon hearing the sound, Lu Songyuan suddenly regained his senses. He opened his eyes and saw Jing Hui's reddened eyes.
Seeing that he was awake, she quickly pulled her clothes up to cover herself, and said in a choked voice, "You bastard, you scared me."
Lu Songyuan lay on the bed looking at Jing Hui. After a while, he closed his eyes tightly. After clearing his mind a bit, he sat up, gently hugged Jing Hui in his arms, pulled the blanket next to him to wrap her up, and patted her back lightly with his large hand.
"Ah Zhu, don't be afraid, I acted impulsively."
Jing Hui sniffed, almost bursting into tears. She rested her nose on Lu Songyuan's shoulder and gradually relaxed.
She accused him, "Last time you got drunk, didn't you just fall asleep as soon as your head hit the pillow? Why aren't you asleep this time? Can't you just go to sleep already...?"
Lu Songyuan did indeed fall asleep as soon as he got drunk; this time it was purely accidental, probably due to constant external stimulation.
In fact, his mind was already a complete mess. Upon hearing this, Lu Songyuan smiled, picked up Jing Hui, and lay down. "Okay, I won't do anything. Ah Zhu, let me hold you while I sleep."
Jing Hui asked, "Is it really about sleeping?"
Lu Songyuan chuckled, "Okay, time to sleep."
Jing Hui nestled against Lu Songyuan's neck, found a comfortable position, and said, "Okay, you should go to sleep."
Lu Songyuan pulled the blanket up to cover her, closed his eyes, and swallowed hard, as if he had swallowed something.
Jing Hui immediately became alert, remaining motionless and even slowing his breathing.
She heard Lu Songyuan chuckle softly, and he gently patted her back with his hand.
After an unknown amount of time, the large hand on his back gradually stopped moving, and Lu Songyuan's breathing became calm.
Jing Hui didn't dare to act immediately. She waited a while and then whispered Lu Songyuan's name in his ear.
"Lu Songyuan".
After calling his name several times, Lu Songyuan remained completely still for a long time; he had truly fallen asleep.
Jing Hui immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She tried to get up, but the large hand on her waist didn't budge.
She tried to pry them apart a few more times, and finally managed to separate them. Lu Songyuan's large hands then intertwined with Jing Hui's palms.
Jing Hui: "..."
In a fleeting glance, Jing Hui noticed the rope under the flowerpot stand by the door.
The rope was originally meant to bind Lu Songyuan, but since he couldn't get it now, he had to find something nearby.
Jing Hui looked around and then looked down at the sash around his waist.
She looked up at Lu Songyuan. He was asleep, so her clothes should be safe.
It's almost the end of the 5-7 PM time, and it will still take some time to get to Rong Xiren's military camp. If we delay any longer, it might arouse suspicion from the people there.
Tonight's efforts cannot be wasted; Jing Hui doesn't want to go through this again.
She deftly pulled out the sash from her waist, forcefully pulled Lu Songyuan's hand upwards to touch the bedpost, then tightly wrapped the sash around Lu Songyuan's wrist and the bedpost, tying a knot that wouldn't come off.
With her other hand, Jing Hui worked quickly, and after tying it up, she was covered in sweat.
Lu Songyuan was not awakened. Jing Hui quickly got out of bed, took off the red jade pendant from Lu Songyuan's waist, put on her coat, and went to the door to knock.
Ayu immediately opened the door, and Jing Hui handed her the jade pendant, saying, "Go find Ayan, quickly."
"yes!"
Ayu didn't dare to delay and ran outside with the jade pendant in her hand.
Jing Hui followed behind her, intending to rest in the side hall, but stopped immediately upon seeing Lu Qingyue's shadow by the door.
We can't leave; we can't let Lu Qingyue in, or we'll be discovered.
Jing Hui turned around and quickly walked back into the bedroom. After locking the bedroom door from the inside, she let out a long sigh of relief.
"call--"
Being a thief is really tough.
After a long while of fussing, Jing Hui was exhausted and hungry. She went to the table, sat down, ate a little something to tide her over, and drank some wine while praying that everything would go smoothly.
As the moon shifted slightly, Jing Hui finished eating and stood up. She heard Lu Songyuan on the bed groan, then open his arms and began to grope for something, as if looking for her.
Jing Hui was startled and picked up the wine pot beside her, walking towards the bedside.
She held the spout of the pot to Lu Songyuan's lips, intending to feed him some more wine, but Lu Songyuan tilted his head and his eyes moved even more.
Afraid that he would wake up, Jing Hui quickly opened her mouth and drank a large mouthful of wine herself, then bent down to feed it to Lu Songyuan.
Lu Songyuan stopped moving, his Adam's apple bobbing, and obediently swallowed every drop of the wine that Jing Hui fed him.
Jing Hui's eyes lit up; this move was so effective!
Then, to prevent Lu Songyuan from waking up again, she used this method to feed him the entire pot of wine. After Lu Songyuan drank it, he became completely quiet.
"call--"
Jing Hui sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Lu Songyuan for a long time.
After loosening his waistband and removing his outer garment, Jing Hui picked up a bowl of warm water and fed Lu Songyuan a bowl using the same method, then touched his burning cheeks.
"So handsome when he's asleep, why does he look like a hooligan when he's awake?"
Lu Songyuan could not answer her.
Jing Hui glanced at the time clock. Ayan probably wouldn't be back for a while. She took off her shoes, crawled into the quilt, and prepared to lie down for a while.
Lu Songyuan's arms were tied above his head, making him look like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
This made Jing Hui laugh for a long time. She knelt on Lu Songyuan's waist and looked around, thinking about where to lie down.
Neither side should be very comfortable, so Jing Hui simply lay down on Lu Songyuan's body, just like before.
After lying down for a while, I felt sleepy.
Jing Hui reached out and wrapped her arms around Lu Songyuan's neck, lifted her head and kissed his lips, then rested her forehead against his neck and fell asleep.
He slept until dawn, having remained in the same position all night, and now his whole body aches.
She sat up and rubbed her neck.
Just then, someone knocked on the door, and Jing Hui quickly got out of bed and ran to answer it.
When I opened the door, I saw Ah Yu, who had been traveling all night and looked exhausted.
There was no one behind her. Jing Hui pulled A Yu into the bedchamber and asked anxiously, "How is it? Has A Yan seen Rong Xiren?"
Ayu ran over, her breathing unsteady, and said with a smile, "I saw it! I saw it! Ayan sent someone to say that the Rongxi people were indeed as Zhonglang General said, they were terrified as soon as they saw this jade pendant."
Jing Hui took the jade pendant from A Yu's hand and said, "And then?"
“Ayan said that when they heard our purpose, they said directly that although the king’s order could not be disobeyed, they would go to the palace today to explain to His Majesty that they would break off their engagement with the Fifth Princess and arrange a marriage with another noblewoman.”
Jing Hui breathed a sigh of relief, her lips curving into a smile, her face beaming with joy.
Holding Ah Yu's arm and shaking it, he asked, "Really? Have they gone? Is my father awake?"
"They've gone. They left as soon as the palace gates opened today."
Ayu nodded firmly, "Ayan went in with them, and the General is with them now. As soon as there is news, Ayan will come back immediately to inform the princess."
"Very good."
Jing Hui patted his chest and said, "That's great, Ayu! Sister doesn't have to marry into that desolate land!"
"Yes, Princess, you don't need to worry too much. Once His Majesty wakes up, this matter will be resolved!"
"Yes, yes! Thanks to this jade pendant."
Jing Hui said, "Lu Songyuan should wake up soon, I need to return it to him quickly!"
Ah Yu said, "Okay."
The two walked together to the bedside. Jing Hui was so happy that she forgot what position Lu Songyuan was in. When they got to the bedside, A Yu's eyes widened immediately.
"This...this..."
Ah Yu looked terrified and took several steps back, looking at Jing Hui, "Princess, did you do this?"
"So what if she's a princess!"
Jing Hui's face flushed, and she pointed to her neck, saying, "Look, you have no idea how despicable he was last night!"
Ayu saw the red mark on Jing Hui's neck, blinked her wide eyes, hesitated for a long time, then slowly stretched out her hand and gave a thumbs up, "Princess, you bravely risked your life for this!"
Jing Hui chuckled and said, "Stop joking. You should quickly take some people and clean up this room so that his men won't become suspicious when they arrive."
Ah Yu replied, "Yes."
He then went downstairs to call someone to clear the table.
Jing Hui stood by the bed, lifted the quilt, bent down to tie the jade pendant to Lu Songyuan, and then pulled the quilt back up for him.
She looked at Lu Songyuan's face and said, "Thank you so much, I owe you one."
A ray of light pierced through the window, hitting the windowpane and reflecting onto Lu Songyuan's eyelids, causing him to frown.
Jing Hui reached out and pulled down the bed curtains at the foot of the bed. She turned her head and glanced at the busy people in the room. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she leaned down and quickly kissed Lu Songyuan on the lips.
"award!"
After the kiss, Jing Hui gestured towards Lu Songyuan with her lips.
She's become bad because of what he taught her!
-
After drinking a large cup of wine and falling into a deep sleep, Lu Songyuan woke up with a splitting headache.
Looking at the shimmering, colorful canopy above him, he almost thought he had ascended to paradise.
"Oh! General, you've finally decided to wake up?"
A gasp came from the foot of the bed, and then a person walked closer against the light. Lu Songyuan's vision was blurry, but he knew from the cheeky voice that it was Lu Qingyue.
Lu Songyuan's throat was dry and sore, and he couldn't speak, so he simply raised his chin, indicating that he wanted to drink water.
Lu Qingyue stepped forward and handed Lu Songyuan a cup of tea.
Lu Songyuan was about to sit up and drink tea when he suddenly felt numbness in his left arm and couldn't move it at all.
He looked up and saw that his left hand was tightly bound to the bedpost with a familiar belt, and he immediately woke up.
Looking to the right, his right hand was also bound.
He frowned and asked in a hoarse voice, "What is this?"
Lu Qingyue's lips were tightly pursed, but after holding it in for a long time, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, General, you've finally met your match!"
